Patent GB-2364100-A (GB)
Title: Pressure-controlled injector with vario-register injection nozzle
Inventor: BOECKING FRIEDRICH
IPC: F02M47/00
Filed: 2001-06-19
Abstract: A pressure-controlled injector for injecting highly pressurized fuel into combustion chambers of internal combustion engines. For this purpose, a 3/2-way valve body 9 is provided, which communicates with an inlet 11 for fuel from a high-pressure accumulator (common rail). The nozzle chamber 28 of a nozzle needle 29 is loadable with highly pressurized fuel. As nozzle chamber 28 is loaded with fuel it effects a first or pilot injection stage by lifting of the nozzle needle 29, this motion is opposed by the pressure acting on control piston 23 in hydraulic control chamber 24, which brakes the extension of the nozzle needle 29. As the pressure in control chamber 24 is relived, via control line 26, by externally actuable control element 16, further lifting of nozzle needle 29, produces a second injection stage. The 3/2 way valve, controlled by control valve 3, actuates a pre-loaded transmission element 19 which opens and/or closes the control element 16.

Inventor: ATOKAWA MASAYUKI
IPC: H04B1/40
Filed: 2002-06-05
Abstract: A filter assembly 1 comprises transmission filter 2 a reception filter 3, a change-over switch 4 and phase circuits 5a, 5b. The transmission filter 2 is electrically connected to a first antenna terminal, the main antenna 8, at one end and to a transmission terminal at the other.

IPC: B64D10/00
Filed: 2002-09-03
Abstract: A g suit that has a liquid of similar density to blood which is constrained, that generates a pressure to the adjacent part of the body when the wearer goes under acceleration.
